Halloween time is usually fun and while there’s nothing special planned on this show, Joel enjoys the dopey morning shows and their costumed traditions. He’ll explain the joy he takes in all this and why his DVR will be full this Halloween – just in case the worst happens. Also, Corey doesn’t understand the new Pepsi logo, Rob Rose does a commercial, Joel takes a bad fantasy football beat, and Jeff Conaway is addicted to reality shows. Plus, Zach and Miri Make a Porno gets reviewed as director Kevin Smith is fatter than ever. Right click here to download – 77 minutes, 35 megs

Sometimes titles don’t wean anything. Hence this week’s show. Actually, the title is referenced during the show, but sometimes just having weird stuff listed on your website leasds to some funny stuff. Like the list of search queries that lead to this site. It’s not just that someone has searched for “slutty librarians, or “funny banana”, but that someone actually clicked on The Corey and Joel Radio Show in the search results. Hear the list and find out if Corey is secretly married, if Refrigerator Perry is secretly dead, and what the heck is the “Joel Button”? Also, Rudy Ray Moore remembered, Joel meets a Last Comic Standing star, cable bills suck, and Corey’s puts Pizza Hut behind him, literally. Right click here to download – 80 minutes, 38 megs

Being successful in comedy sometimes a gimmick. Corey and Joel have largely steered clear of such shtick – until this week, as Corey unveils his new creation, The Eskimo Comedian. Corey takes his years of preparation for the role and makes it seem like it’s something he just came up with on the spot. Brilliant. Funny? Decide for yourself. Corey makes comedy look easy, though as demonstrated by the recent effort of Today Show newscaster, Ann Curry, who gave stand-up a shot for an on-air bit. Does she sink or swim? Is it truly painful or just mildly embarrassing? Hear the tape with commentary in full. Also, the hottest older showbiz babes, Ringo’s weird request, TV chefs get ranked and Family Guy (kinda) sucks.

Comedian Bill Bushart sits in this week, for the first time in a while. The guys swap comedy road stories, with Bill and Corey working with big name acts recently, and Joel doing time in an Indian casino in Northern Michigan. It could be worse though, they could be at the 2-1/2 hour Sinbad show, and as Corey says, “Who knew men and women were that different?”. The guys also describe why female comics have it easier than guys, although sometimes the sleeping arrangements aren’t perfect. Also, listener email riles up Corey, the state of open mike comedy in Detroit and another political debate divides the hosts – again. Right click here to download – 78 minutes, 36 megs

The Fall TV season has kicked off and the guys have given some, but not many of the returning shows a spin. The guys are split on The Office, with Joel calling it a return to form and Corey finding some new annoyances. At least it’s not as bad as the return of The Amazing Race, which was the most generic, cookie-cuttter season premiere ever, and Joel argues that even Survivor has changed enough to warrant watching, but that other reality shows are very tired. Also, Corey is wound up by the political discussions on The View, and it’s a problem Joel has a simple but brilliant answer for. Plus, Joel gets some Taco Bell info from the source, Sarah Palin looks stupid, and the Bill Hildebrandt cruise update you’ve all been waiting for. Right click here to download – 76 minutes, 36 megs
